In this price range, there’s no all-electric vehicle that can surpass the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV and its commute-friendly, gas-free range.
What’s new for the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV?
This year, the Driver Confidence II package is available for the entry-level Bolt EV LT trim. This bundle of high-tech driver aids, including forward collision warning with low-speed automatic braking, alerts you to danger, helping you avoid costly damages. If you stray from your lane, the package’s lane departure warning system can intervene on your behalf, gently guiding you back on the right track. Automatic high beams can sense when they’re needed, lighting the way accordingly. As in the past, the Driver Confidence II package is also available for the top-trim Bolt EV Premier.
Which 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV trim level is right for me?
This EV hatchback is available in two trims: the nicely equipped LT and the upscale Premier. Both models share the same electric motor and large 60-kWh battery, a powertrain that supplies 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque so that you’ll never be short on speed. The two trims differ in feature content, though, The LT supplies everything you need for a friendly, modern ride and the Premier turns up the luxury dial.
When you choose the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV LT, you definitely won’t feel like you’re settling. The LT’s tech features – including keyless entry and ignition and remote start – are timesavers. OnStar sends help if you break down on the side of the road or get into an accident. The OnStar system includes a Wi-Fi hotspot, so can take a speedy internet connection along for the ride. The LT’s 10.2-inch touchscreen is loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, which displays apps like Music, Maps, and Phone. You can even use your phone’s voice controls without lifting a finger – just press and hold a button on the steering wheel.
Add the Driver Confidence package to your LT for a little extra peace of mind. This bundle of high-tech driver aids – including blind-spot monitoring and rear parking sensors – helps you steer clear of danger. You can also add a little luxury to your LT with the optional Comfort and Convenience package. It includes heated front seats and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel for cozy winter cruising.
The Premier is fully loaded with all of the LT features and options. But it also adds exclusive luxuries, with leather upholstery and ambient lighting to give your commute a little something extra. In addition to heated front seats, the Premier includes heated rear seats, so nobody has cause to complain about winter chills. The Premier’s top-down parking camera is on your side when you’ve got to squeeze into the last parallel space on the block.
How long is the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV range? What are the charging specs?
